SPOOKS---The spooks, ghosts and
roaming the area Sunday night as
are out trick or treating. These
pupils in Mrs. Thelma Maxwell's
teen School have designed these
to be used instead of masks. This
in excellent idea from the standpoint
the "scare people" can be carried
so that they do not obstruct the youngsters' Vision
while walking between stops. Youngsters and
their parents should also keep in mind that at
least a part of the costume for Halloween should
be of light colored or luminous material to make
the youngsters visible to drivers while they are out
on the streets. Left to right are Michelle Shelton,
Marilee Matson, Rick Simonson and Judy Miller.

City Hea
Department
The Shclton City Commission
Tuesday night heard a report from
Fire Chief Al'.an Nevitt on what
would be needed to bring the Fire
Department up to a fifth class rat-
ing by the Insurance Survey and
Rating Bureau.
Nevitt and City Supervisor Pat
Byrne met with rating bureau of-
ficials in Seattle last week to dis-
cuss deficiency points which the
Shelton Department got in its last
survey.
The biggest deficiencies are in
equipment and manpower, Nevitt
said. In order to go from its pres-
ent sixth class rating to a fifth
class, one new fire truck would be
needed as soon as possible with
the present 1941 truck held as a re-
serve unit. A replacement schedule
should then be set up so a new
truck would be purchased every
five years, Nevitt said.
For a fifth class rating, Nevitt
said, there would have to be either
additional paid firemen or addition-
al volunteers. He said that in. order
to get a 16-man volunteer response
to a fire call with four paid men, it
is estimated that a volunteer group
of 24 men would be needed.
IF THE NUMBER of paid men
were increased to five, he said, a
12-man volunteer response would
be needed necessitating a force of
20 volunteers.
Ncvitt estimated that if the rat-
ing of the dcpartmcnt could be
raised from sixth in fifth class, it
would mean a savings to property
owners of about $1 per thousand
dollars of fire insurance purchased.
Lloyd Gruver appeared at the
meeting to discuss a possible street
improvement LID. Gruver will cir-

week the f~n'thcoming official visit
of Lions District Governor Ray
Wren. District Governor Wren will
be the featured speaker at the reg-
ular club meeting at the Shelton
Hotel Tuesday.
Wren who recently retired from

cludes some 32 clubs in Thurston,
Pierce, Lewis and Mason counties.

has been presented several awards

isphere.
Voters in :~Sason County will go
Lo the polls Tnesday to vote on
school board candidates, and spec-
ial financing proposals for schools
and the county.
Polling places will be schools
in the county with only one ex-
ception, the Grapeview district,
which will vote at the fire hall,
Mrs. Ruth Boysen, county audi-
tor, said. Shelton Dist~,ct polling
places will be the three element-
try schools.
Polls will remain open from
3 a.m. to 8 p.m. with the exception
c)f Harstine Isand, which will be
~pen horn 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Mrs,
Boysen said.
A complete list of polling places
for various precincts appears in
the legal notice of election on
Page 17 of The Journal this week.
ALL SCHOOL districts in the
county have put the proposal to
continue a 14-mill levy for school
purposes when assessment rates
are raised to 25 percent before
their voters.
This is a proposal which the
school district had to put on the
ballot because of action of the
state legislature, which passed two
laws, one which said in allocating
school apportionment money, the
State Departmentment of 'Educa-
tion will "assume" that the local
tax revenue is being collected on
the basis of 14 mills at 25 percent.
The second law "freezes" property
tax revenues at the 1966 dollar
even if assessment rates are in-
creased unless voters approve the
collection of the maximum millage
at a vote at a general election.
The county has also submitted
a proposal to the voters asking
that they be allowed to continue
their levy of eight mills for cur-
rent expense and 10 mills for road
districts when assessment rates
are increased.
; In addition, several school dis-
tricts have put other proposals on
the ballot for their voters to de-
cide.
Shelton School District voters
are being asked fo authorize the
luse of some $26,0(}0 in funds ear-
,marked for a swimming pool for
improvement of the district's ath-
letic faei]ities.
Southside school district voters
will cast ballots on a bond issue
for $47.000 and special levy to
raise $9,000 for the construction
of a multi-purpose building.
